How to connect TV to nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see on Google now that the n5 finds my Samsung smart TV, but when I click scan for programs, nothing is found..
What do I need to do to connect my devices and what exactly is this feature capable of?

Allshare cast dongle unable to connect

It can connect to one s3, but on the other, it connects, but before it shows on the tv, I get a message on the phone that says current allshare cast connection will end and the allshare instructions reappear on the tv. Both phones have the same Rom (beans 9) and same kernel, (imo)

Is your dongle up to date with the latest firmware (LJ02)? While not perfect, I've found a lot of my problems went away after upgrading. If you need help with that you can check this post.

Also, very often I find that I need to reboot the phone and sometimes unplug/replug in the dongle to get it to work.
Good luck.

Dongle is up to date and I also have the latest allshare cast apk (the one blocked by Verizon). I've rebooted the phone, reset and powered the dongle off then on, still nothing. Still only connects to 1 of 2 phones

Update:
Both phones say they are connected, problem now is the dongle stays on the welcome screen and never mirrors the phones screens. Not sure if anyone has had this problem

Miracast / Allshare Cast

Hello,
Does someone know if it is possible to mirror my phones screen to my TV ?
Its a Samsung UE40F6400
It had WiFi, and its a smart TV.
When i duplicate screen under Display its connected, and then my TV says connection is stopped.
Running stock rom, Faux kernel 03B06
Anyone?
Same thing happens to me. I have a Sony Smart tv with miracast but I can't get my Nexus 5 or my Galaxy S3 to mirror. I'm getting frustrated.

Miracast is absolute utter garbage technology. Its seriously one of the ****tiest standards ever to grace mobile computing, mostly because there just is no standard. It can work with one device and then not work with another, even though everything is miracast enabled. Its probably not worth your time trying to figure out, because even when you do its frustratingly awful sometimes. I got it working finally on my nexus 4 and 7, but even when the phone or tablet was within a foot of the damn miracast receiver it would still lag and lose connection while playing video.

Its not that bad. with the latest drivers its actually pretty stable with everything I have thrown at it. note 8, yoga2, venue 8 pro, nexus 5 and gs4.
to answer the op samsung makes it so only samsung devices can mirror with their tvs. hopefully they change this soon but until then you need to buy a ptv3000 or similar.
What does it check, could it work if i change build.prop or something else?
Any developer know how to get allshare on Nexus 5?
Or how to fake my phone to connect it to the TV with wirekess display?
Still looking.
Anyone ?

My N5 miracasts perfectly with my Sony smart TV (Except sometimes it lags or freezes and I have to reconnect) but I do have to go into the specific 'Screen Mirror' input channel.
Have you tried going into the specific source for Mirroring? Not sure if this will be applicable to Samsung TV's though.

Samsung got some modified miracast that works with allshare cast for samsung devices.
Is it possible to port those apps?

Today my TV updated to version 1117 after checking in menu.
Its working now with nexus 5,android 4.4.2 stock, faux 8u kernel.
But cant really use it when gaming, got some lagg, but its a good start that samsung now accepts a LG phone like the Nexus 5

Tried SoundAbout and some other apps without success.

Hello to all nexusisti!
Is there anyone of you who managed to install the application on the samsung nexus 5 to control their TVs? The AllShare?
Or to limit the samsung apps and then install it manually?

Nexus 5 is made by LG, not Samsung.
You can use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
It's BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA, it's use DLNA to connect/control Samsung TV. I have Samsung TV once and it working.
How to use:
1. Install this app to your Nexus 5
2. Open Connection opition by Remote
3. Choose DLNA and enjoy.
Good luck!

Correct me if I'm wrong but the nexus 5 doesn't even have the hardware to be able to do it. Only alternative I think would be something like a smart tv where you can just use it as a remote via Bluetooth or over the network

There's no alternative. N5 doesn't have IR. If you have a net connected TV there are apps

Nexus 5 Multicast Problem

Hi,
I'm not able to run IPTV App provided by my ISP on my Nexus 5. I get the following error message:
"Error playing stream, please check network and try again".
When I contacted my ISP, they told me that Multicast is not enabled on Nexus 5, therefore you can't play stream. But interestingly I am able to run that IPTV App on my Nexus 7 2013 Tablet on the same Network.
I want to ask that is it true that due to Multicast disabled on Nexus 5, I am not able to run that app? If yes, then how it can be enabled?
I have only basic knowledge of Android, so please let me know in detail.

Not yet. Even Multicast was also disabled on Nexus 7 2013,since it's updated to Lollipop.
Please let me know some solution
